scratched and scraped!

[grace_glide]

guys, i need help... do you know a reputable body pain shop somewhere in paranaque or makati? The Frankline in QC is highly suggested in these fora but it's a bit far. I would really appreciate if you can share to me your trusted auto shop where you we could say "satisfaction guaranteed". I cannot go back to the casa yet. Not just yet because it's still very new... they might get my car back..

Thanks for replying...

This site has been very helpful to me in all of my queries since the inception of buying a ride until this day when I get my scratch. way to go tsikoters!http://tsikot.com/forums/images/smilies/agree.gif

kahit naman bago pa yung oto pwede namang dalhin sa casa yan. may insurance naman yan.

hhmmm... its kinda small, baka mas mahal pa yung participation fee ko kaysa pag pinagawa ko sa labas or not? isang panel lang, front bumper. participation ko kasi nasa 4ooo. what do you think?

try Q-Check auto in Salvador Estate.. just after Evacom if you're on Dr. A. Santos Ave - southbound to SSH. Just got my van's right rear door and right step panel fixed...

they work with euro cars, italian cars.. (yes.. there's a ferrari there) and some big ford trucks as well.

look for Mam Cindy or Sir Topher.. tell them Mark referred you.. (White APV)

Thank you! I might just go there later to check them out. i assume they can do a good job over a new car and titanium in color if they fix up a ferrarri. nice, nice... i hope the price is not sky-high.. thanks again!

+1 ako dito ma'am... if its a small scratch.. or as you said 'scraped', siguro best is go to a paint shop that can get the same color of your car.. then just use a very small paint brush... the smaller the better.. then just DIY - dab it on to the scrape to hide...

but sometimes, pag bago talaga vehicles natin tsaka ayaw natin ng imperfections... i'd rather have it fixed as soon as possible..

originally i have that same deep scratch(labas primer color) on my right rear door panel... almost 3 years na siyang nandun.. pinabaaan ko na lang.. DIY covered with touch up paint.. but when I got a deeper damage sa step panel.. ayun.. pina-damay ko na.. hehehehe... :D

any pics? baka paint transfer lang naman. kaya na ng polish or rubbing compund yan.

Kung maliit not worth to have the whole panel repainted... Saka bakit kunin ng CASA kotse mo eh saiyo yan?

Scrape? As in natanggal pintura and all? Post mo na lang pics

[airolynx]

Kung di naman tinamaan yung metallic portion ng body, I see no rush unless gusto mo talaga matanggal yung imperfection. Personally, little nicks and scratches cannot be avoided lalo na kung daily driven yung car.

[robot.sonic]

kung front bumper, di ba usually plastic naman yan? hayaan mo na lang kung di naman gaanong nakikita. Kasi pagkapagawa mo nyan pagtingin mo meron na naman.

wow! thanks for all the replies, appreciate it really. i like the idea of touch ups. i hope they can restore it a bit or... its an eyesore kasi, kaya i wanna get rid of it.

I would like to ignore it because its really small i think, but mind you, very visible considering the contrast color over it. the white paint (from the white car) might be removed by buffing and the other white color maybe the under coating of the outer paint, and the black is the one that is scraped.

here is an image of it...

yup.. definitely an eyesore... but good thing is that you can remedy this thru touch up paint!!!

the paint transfer can be easily removed by light buffing.. the paint 2 paint chips can be covered up by touch up paint. and the deeper scratch.. can be slightly hidden by both buffing and some touch up paint..

mam, as i saw it in the picture, ndi ko lang sure if natuklap yung pintura sa bumper...pero ganyan din nangyari sa bumber ko..even the size of the scratch, almost the same nung sa kin...para mas makamura ka,patimpla ka na lang ng pang-touch up paint sa mga paintshop, around 300/pint or maybe less, you can DIY the thing sa tingin ko kasi maliit lang naman..and also always keep the car clean para di halata...suggestion lang naman...

the one na black na, i think is the plastic bumper na talaga, natuklap ang pintura. whew! i want the DIY, but kung puede naman dun sa mga paint shops na binaggit, paggawa ko nalang doon. i really sound desperate... eyesore kasi!!!! Lagi po malinis sasakyan ko, I hate to imagine that i come out of it na maayos pero madumi naman yung ride, arte lang. hehe.. Thanks for the suggestions...

bring it a reputable detailing shop. most of those marks will be easily removed

thanks! i hope it can be remedied by those techniques. i'm a noob, wag naman sana ako taasan ng charge. more power to you guys!
